This invention relates to improvements in dustproof dis lay containers or envelopes and the method making the same.

The object being to provide a sanitary hermetically sealed container for merchandise,

to prevent the contents from becomin soiled or stained by changing climatic con itions, dust, dirt and other injurious and deteriorating elements or factors, such as shop wear and 1 handling, the contents always retaining its fresh factory condition.

A further object of the invention being to provide a window or transparent portion throu h which the contents of the container 5 may be inspected, and a further object is cheapness of production.

Features of the construction include a back or base sheet of relativel heavy paper or other appropriate materia of any desired or required shape or size, to the marginal portions of which an adhesive is applied preferably along a uniform line.

Before the adhesive dries, the merchandise is placed in position on the back sheet and inwardl of the wet adhesive, after which, a

sheet 0 transparent material such as gla-* cine may be imposed and pressed into intimate contact with the adhesive entirely surrounding the said contents, after which the said transparent material is cut to register with the contour of the base sheet; or the sealed oint between the back sheet and'transparent cover may be dried before the final cutting is done as desired. In order that the invention may be clearly understood and readily carried into effect, the

same will now be described more fully in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating a preferred embodiment thereof, in which drawings:

Fig. 1 is a front or face view of our improved sanitary container indicating the contents as a plurality of paper or textile doilies.

Fig. 2 is a cross sectional elevation taken on the central line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3, is a perspective view of the rear or back sheet of the improved container.

Fig. 4, is a similar view but showing a marginal line of adhesive applied to said sheet. Fig. 5, is another similar view but showing or back sheet.

a piece of merchandise placed on said shoe and a transparent sheet of material imposed thereon.

Fi 6, is a further similar view but showing t 1e sealing step in the manufacture of the container, and

Fig. 7, is a still further similar View but showing the last step in the method of production, including cutting the transparent sheet to register with the contour of the base Referring to the drawings, 10 designates the improved display container with its contents constructed according to our invention, embodying a back or base sheet 11, carrying a marginal uniform line of adhesive 12.

The contents, illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 as a pile or stack of doilies 13 are deposited centrally of the back sheet 11, which is constituted by a relatively heavy or thick sheet of 1preferably opaque paper or other materia While the adhesive 12 remains in a wet or sticky condition, a referably all transparent sheet, 15, such as g acine is imposed over the 5 contents 13 and over the full extent of the continuous line of adhesive, after which the said transparent sheet is sealed in place by pressure on appropriate portions thereof as by a roller 16, or by other means. so

The transparent upper or top sheet 15, may then be cut or trimmed as by a knife 17, to correspond to and register with the edge of the back sheet 11, after which the completed package container 10 may be set aside to permit the adhesive 12 to set or dry before packin for shipment to the market.

t will be understood that the back or base sheet may take any desired shape or contour, corresponding with the character of the merchandlse to be packed or protected.

Likewise the materials employed in manufacturing the container may vary with individual requirements and it will be obvious to those skilled in'the art, that great economy,

both as regards materials and waste is achieved in the construction and method, incident to the practise of our invention. What we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent: 6

' provide aflexible A. flat container for doilies comprising a base sheet" of flexible relatively hea material and a transparent flexible relative I; light sheet sealed to the base sheet at its e ges to gocket of a size greater than the contained doi 'es, permitting free movement of said doilies. within said flexible pocket for avoiding ruptures in handlin Signed at Brooklyn, in the county of and State of New York, this 18th day of F5:
